Kierston Wareing quickly became a fan favorite during her time on the BBC's "EastEnders," portraying the unforgettable Kirsty Branning, who made a dramatic entrance to Walford on Christmas Day 2012. As Max Branning's (played by Jake Wood) third wife, she became a central figure of intrigue and drama on the show.

Her character was pivotal in several major plotlines, notably deceiving Max into believing she was pregnant to keep him from leaving her. This move made her an instant hit among the show's viewers.

However, Wareing's journey with "EastEnders" came to an end in 2014, much to the disappointment of her fans. She revealed that the exit wasn't her choice but a decision made by the show's management following a change in producers who aimed to 'shake things up.'

Post-"EastEnders," Wareing didn't slow down, securing a role on "Hollyoaks" as Ashley Davidson in 2015, although her character there was also short-lived due to an on-screen death.

Before her soap opera fame, Wareing was already a notable figure in the British acting scene. Her breakthrough came with the 2009 BAFTA-winning film "Fish Tank," where her performance garnered significant acclaim and contributed to her established career in acting.

Over the years, Kierston Wareing has taken bold roles, including participating in steamy scenes. Notably, in the 2013 film "The Fall Of The Essex Boys," she appeared in a daring scene where her character engages in a topless encounter.

Fast forward to a decade after her memorable stint on "EastEnders," Kierston continues her acting career but has also ventured into a unique side project. She's now immersed in the world of vintage antiques, fashion, and crafting homemade soaps and baby items.

Her Instagram account features links to her business ventures, although, at the moment, it appears there are no items available for purchase.

Kierston has further showcased her interest in antiques by earning a diploma in 'Understanding Antiques,' achieving a Distinction. She shared her excitement and surprise over this achievement on Instagram, expressing: "Certificate has arrived didn't even realise I signed up for a Diploma didn't expect this grade thank you so much."

Recently, Kierston returned to the silver screen in the 2023 British horror flick "Punch." In this slasher film, a group of friends encounters a night of terror, pursued by a masked assailant known as Mr. Punch, drawing inspiration from the traditional Punch and Judy puppet shows.

In this movie, she stars alongside Jamie Lomas, a known face from "Hollyoaks," portraying the character Julia.
